Then, reference picture 5 is illustrated come the action to the embodiment so constituted to Fig. 7.Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are to be used for Illustrate the flow chart of the action of embodiment, Fig. 7 is the timing diagram for illustrating the action of embodiment.Fig. 5 shows control unit 41 motion flow, Fig. 6 shows the motion flow of image procossing and control unit 47.
In Fig. 5 step S1, control unit 41 is taken into the testing result of test section 42, and determining whether to be changed into battery 31 can The state (step S2) removed from connecting portion.Currently, it is set to be installed on the state of operating portion 21 in battery 31.In the situation Under, control unit 41 connects switch a, b of switch portion 43 based on the testing result of test section 42, disconnects switch c.Thus, Battery power (step S3) is carried out, the electric power from battery 31 is supplied via switch portion 43 and power line 46a to power supply unit 46. Electric power of the power supply unit 46 based on supply come produce to wireless endoscope 1 each portion supply electric power.
In step s 4, pattern when control unit 41 sets usual to image procossing and control unit 47.The step of Fig. 6 In S11, pattern when image procossing and control unit 47 determine whether to set replacing.When setting usual during pattern, Processing is transferred to step S12 by image procossing and control unit 47, come set image pickup part 50 photography frame frequency, Lighting Division 49 illumination Compression ratio in light quantity and image procossing.In FIG. 7, it is shown that during before battery is removed, when i.e. usual under pattern, Photography frame frequency is set as 60f/s, the compression ratio of image is set as α, illumination light quantity is set as 100%.So, in wireless Each portion of sight glass 1 is driven with common consumption electric power.
In addition, when usual under pattern, charging circuit 44 is entered using the electric power from power line 46a to electric capacity 24 Row charging.Thus, install battery 31 when, electric capacity 24 maintain for make wireless endoscope 1 acted needed for electric power.
Here, the reasons why off-capacity due to battery 31 etc. and carrying out battery altering.Operator is for example to machinery The test sections 42 such as formula switch are operated to remove battery 31.Thus, in step s 2, control unit 41 is judged to that electricity can be removed Pond.
In this case, control unit 41 disconnects switch a, b of switch portion 43 based on the testing result of test section 42, makes C is switched to connect.Thus, electric capacity driving (step S5) is carried out, the electric power for carrying out self-capacitance 24 is supplied to discharge circuit 45, from electric discharge electricity Road 45 is via switch c to power line 46a supply electric powers.So, power supply unit 46 receives the electricity needed for the action of wireless endoscope 1 Power, produces the electric power for being driven to each portion.
In step s 6, pattern (step S6) when control unit 41 is changed to image procossing and the setting of control unit 47. In Fig. 6 step S11, processing is transferred to step by pattern when image procossing and control unit 47 are judged to having set replacing S14, sets the compression ratio in photography frame frequency, the illumination light quantity of Lighting Division 49 and the image procossing of image pickup part 50 again.In Fig. 7 In, show during after battery is removed, i.e. change when pattern under, will photography frame frequency be set as 30f/s, by the pressure of image Shrinkage be set as β (>α), illumination light quantity is set as 70%.
Frame frequency of photographing is lower, more can cut down the consumption electric power in image pickup part 50.In addition, compression ratio is higher, more can The electric power during transmission in radio section 48 is set to diminish.In addition, illumination light quantity is lower, the consumption electric power in Lighting Division 49 more can be made Cut down.So, when changing under pattern, carry out consumption electric power than it is usual when pattern under few low of consumption electric power disappear Consume driven by power (step S15).
The capacity of electric capacity 24 be for example set to if driving under low consumption electric power then can to wireless endoscope 1 to The capacity that few last for several minutes or so is driven, by installing charged again within several minutes from being removed battery 31 Battery 31, can not make the endoscopic observation based on wireless endoscope 1 stop just progress battery altering.
